Matthias Waschek: Pierre Bonnard's 'Dining Room In The Country'

French painter Pierre Bonnard's 1913 work, Dining Room in the Country, represents the artist's dining room, along with his wife and cats, at his country house in Vernonnet, a small town outside of Paris on the Seine River. Rather than painting from life, Bonnard created the work entirely from memory, foregrounding his subjective responses over an optical experience of the interior and landscape.

Worcester Art Museum Director Matthias Waschek explores this enigmatic and delightful country scene, loaned to the Museum by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts from October 8, 2015, to May 1, 2016.
